Digestive Support!

Digestive enzymes are essential to the body's absorption and full use of food. The capacity of the body to make enzymes diminishes with age‚ and therefore the efficiency of digestion declines. NOW® Papaya Enzyme Lozenges have a refreshing taste and support digestion when taken after meals. The lozenges are made with whole‚ unripe‚ spray dried Papaya powder‚ and have 40 mg of Papaya per Lozenge. In addition‚ Protease‚ Lipase and Cellulase have been included for a full spectrum of enzymatic activity. This tablet is also useful as a mint breath freshener.

Irritating to my throat and stomach.

I tried chewing Papaya Enzymes by NOW tablets 3 different ways - before, during and after meals. Within 5-10 minutes my throat started feeling scratchy and irritated. I drank lots of water to try and wash it down. I tried again after supper meal and ended up awake during the night with a scratchy throat and burning stomach. I researched online and found that the enzymes will start to break down the coating in your mouth and throat. The bottle recommends giving to children over 4 years. I definitely wouldn't give this to children who may not be able to tell you if it burns their throat.

Pros

The taste was okay.

Cons

Throat and stomach irritation.

they are excellent.

My granddaughters both take Papaya Enzymes when they have tummy aches and it is a good safe product for them too. I keep Papaya Enzymes at work and in my car so I always have some on hand.
